Futurama mimicing star trek:

Leela- I didn't want to leave them either, Fry, but what were we supposed to do?

Fry- Well, usually on the show, someone would come up with a complicated plan, then explain it with a simple analogy.

Leela- Hmm, if we can reroute engine power through the primary weapons, and reconfigure them to Melllvar's frequency, that should overload his electroquantum structure.

Bender- Like putting too much air in a balloon!

Fry- Of course, it's so simple!

Heh. Then later,

Someone: Oh no! rerouting engine power through the primary weapons, and reconfiguring them to Melllvar's frequency is increasing his graviton sequence!*

Fry: Like filling up a balloon with air... and something bad happens!

*Or something.

Oh yes. I vaguely remember that night. It ended up with three of us strapping on our rollerblades, grabbing our wooden training katanas and going outside for a joust...

WTF??? ... 1.21 jigawatts...what the hell?? ... but what about causality problems... 88 mph...huh?? And the biggest one of all... how could you expect us to believe a babe like Marty's young mom (Lea Thompson) would ever go for a dork like Marty's young dad (Crispin Glover)?! That's clearly a violation of the laws of Natural Selection.

There's a worse problem than just the fact that they're mismatched. Why didn't Biff interfere? If he has a crush on Lorraine and bullies George mercilessly, why would he let George date Lorraine? There's no freaking way.
